A Chronicle of Life in a Different World

Episode 451: Heterogeneity Part 1

- What's that?

In his melting thoughts, Reurus questions that.

It was a revulsion that looked up at the sky even forgetting to kill the slaw, but the indescribable feeling that came through my body didn't distract me.

A dark purple color where objects stained from the rift of the sky can only be seen as black at the earliest. It seeps out of the rift of the sky as if it were viscous and falls down following gravity.

The instinct remembers nostalgia and is attracted to the mind - the slightest residue of reason shouts ferociously.

(Liquid... slime, huh? No, that's....)

The appearance and signs, excluding color, are similar to slime, but only to slime. Chills that shake your skin and make your whole body look like birdskin gently outweigh slime. And above all, magic came through the air strong enough to make you think it was a joke.

It is concentrated by collecting a gas called magic and making it into a liquid. The more you remember the illusion that magic floats as a smell even when you're away, the more your Reurus consciousness completely turns to a mysterious object.

The magnitude of the magic exceeds even Slause, and whether it can reach all the Gilba and Rebecca who are not here. Above all, the quality of magic is different. The signs alone made the neighboring monsters feel intimidated enough to escape.

I can't assure Reurus because I haven't seen him fight with all his might, but if he succeeds, even Vanille will feel intimidated.

But, but... While feeling intimidated, Reurus thinks the same. Instinct screams.

If it has as much magic as this, I'm sure it'll be good if you eat it.

Ugh!

Reurus punches himself in the head and shakes twice or three times. Connect thoughts that are about to melt, and maintain consciousness “as a revulsion”.

That's no good, it's dangerous, I can't leave it behind any more than Slause. The reason for shouting so suppresses instinct, and the revus bites its teeth without breaking.

"Why... why did you show up!?

Slaus shouted alongside such a revulsion. He opens his eyes incredibly hard to believe and looks at falling objects as he kills them.

Reurus, who saw Slaus' reaction, greatly distorted his expression. Slightly loosen the "Caloric Release" routine, which is exposed to violence, and darken the color of reason.

"Hey... if you know something, tell me. That's not a viable substitute, is it?

Swallow all the passion for Slaus at this time, Reurus wonders. Slaus cannot be left behind, but Reurus is complaining that he should not be left behind any longer.

If Slaus tries to take any action while holding up the 'Neck Hunting' sword, it will be slashed as it is. However, it was decided that we should now take precedence over slashing the slaughter.

Something seeped out of the rift in the sky and landed on the ground as it fell. The appearance is a liquid, but it does not penetrate the ground as it is, and it retains its shape as a black sphere. Looking at it as if it had made the slime's "nucleus" huge, but even if it was wrong, it wouldn't be a slime.

It's about two meters in size, and it's not that big compared to a monster. A monster of that magnitude would be large enough, not just intermediate, but also lower-level monsters, but there were no people who mistakenly believed that it existed at the lower and intermediate levels.

Watch Natalia and the Wing Dragon while taking care not to lose too much sight of the black sphere.

Natalia floats on her face with the utmost vigilance, just like Reurus, taking a little distance from the black sphere. They don't move fast or use magic because they don't know what the black sphere is. I've never been more vigilant than I don't know what triggers it.

Gu...... gruuuuuuuuu......

And the Winged Dragon was so frightened that it was clear from Reurus' eyes. Even though Rebecca was manipulating it, she didn't even show how frightened the dust was when she fought Slaus, but now she's shaking her huge body with her eyes shaking and roaring small.

Gi, gi... giaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

The moment Slaus tried to say something, the dragon lightly reached the limit of self-restraint. I wonder if I roared to arouse myself, and the black sphere sprayed out the flame.

A flame approaching the black sphere while burning out the debris scattered on the radiation. It did not take into account the surrounding damage or the spreading of fire, and it seemed that it acted reflexively to escape fear.

Maybe it's out of Rebecca's control. An unavoidably monotonous turbidity of flame approaches the black sphere - it is swallowed up in the flame.

…………

Reurus unexpectedly watched the situation silently. It may hurt a little if you have a "contract" with Sarah, but if it's a monster, it's burning calories in an instant. I narrowed my eyes to see how the black sphere affects me, but within a few seconds, I started to open my narrowed eyes.

(... doesn't it work?

Rather than burns, it doesn't even look like it was burned by fire. The black sphere fell down and stood around it, causing smoke to rise from the ground as a result of being scorched by fire, but the black sphere itself did not appear to have worked.

Still, did you have any thoughts? If you think the black sphere vibrates slightly, it changes shape.

Elongated tentacles grow one by one from the left and right of the sphere and are released by the winged dragon at an unstoppable speed. As soon as he saw it, the dragon jumped and fled into space, breaking its wings and trying to distance itself from the black sphere.

The tentacle changes course after the dragon and wraps it around the neck. And the winged dragon was pulled down from the sky and knocked to the ground, ignoring the difference in his stature.

Gruuu!?

The voice of anguish leaks from the Wing Dragon's mouth. The impact of the giant winged dragon was such that it ran a crack on the ground that it was too painful to ignore the dragon.

But the black tentacles never stop. Tighten up the tentacles tangled around the winged dragon's neck, making bony sounds.

Chi!

As it stands, Winged Dragon, an ally, dies at least now. Reurus, who decided to do so, immediately kicked the ground and now slashed the winged dragon's neck into a tentacle that was about to be torn off.

Wrapped around the wing dragon's neck, the tentacles should be thin and easy to cut if the pin is stretched. Reurus thought so and shook down the sword of "neck hunting" he held with both hands at the same time as he stepped in.

-I don't know!?

And I raised my voice of dismay in my heart. Even though the movement of the winged dragon when wrapped around its neck seemed soft, the feeling conveyed through the "neck hunting" sword was clearly hard.

Even in the “current state”, Reus felt confused that the blade could not pass through - huh, I heard a sound like cutting the wind.

Reurus!

"Hmm!?

Natalia's voice and a sense of killing with the wind chirp sound. Reurus instantly turns his back and dodges Slause's fist from behind.

"--Teme"

Once, the murderous intent behind the lid peeked into his face and burned Reurus' reason. Still, I stopped in the middle of nowhere because I couldn't afford to deal with Slaus in the current situation.

"I don't think we've settled this. It makes me laugh when I turn my back on my enemies during the battle."

That said, Slaus hung up her cheeks and laughed ironically.

"I would slash you with such dullness... if you were my opponent."

However, Reurus' reason, which had become thin in the words that followed, waited. Though Reurus had doubts about Slaus' words, there was no time for them now.

The Caloric Release hasn't been solved yet. I didn't come back even after I stepped on it.

Reurus flashes the 'Head Hunting' sword at Slaughter's neck, but Slaughter jumps backwards to avoid slashing as expected.

In the meantime, the revus also moves. Running to the Dragon Slasher that had been thrown out, he picked up the Dragon Slasher as he put the "neck hunting" sword in his sheath.

Shaaaaaaaaaaa!

And again, I challenge the black tentacles. He rushed to the Wing Dragon, which was already stepping into the abyss of death, and waved down with all his magic in the Dragon Slash.

Hard feeling on both hands. It felt as hard as the sword of the "neck hunter", but the "dragon slash" responded to the revus.

The blade of the Dragon Slash swallows into a black tentacle and is cut after a slight reversal. Cut the other tentacle that was stretching from the black sphere with the returned blade, and rescue the winged dragon from restraint.

Gu, luu......

A weak voice leaked out of the dragon's mouth. Still, just a few shakes of the freed neck restore the war and start roaring.

Whether the black sphere is the opponent or "Dragon Slash", it can be slaughtered - but not good.

…………

When Reurus slashed the black tentacles, he felt a subtle but uncomfortable feeling. When you look at the sword while watching out for both the slaw and the black sphere, you instantly notice the identity of the discomfort.

Though only slightly, the blade of the Dragon Slash was missing. The blade was chipped even though it was worn out a little when I cut the slime.

It doesn't interfere with the fight right now, but even the Sword of Love, Reus' only partner, is “like this.” It is also the result of using "Caloric Release" and using magic with all efforts.

"... Reurus"

Natalia called out on the back of such a revulsion. When they moved, they sandwiched the reels between them and held their canes at a distance from the slaw and the black sphere.

"I'll take care of it here... this isn't rational. I've crossed the battlefield many times so far, but I can't let it go. Forget the lord or the former King's army general,“ as a human being, "you should take him down."

Natalia's expression is harder than I've ever seen. Reurus and Natalia had different feelings for the black sphere, and the tip of Natalia's cane seemed to tremble slightly.

"What's the odds?

"I have a trump card, just like you have a trump card."

"What do I do?

"Buy me some time."

Speaking briefly, Reurus once again looks at the slaw and the black sphere.

The black sphere does not appear to hit the slaw, and the slaw is still looking at the revus while remaining a little alert to the black sphere.

It was painful not to take down Slaus, but if we just buy time, we can handle it. Reus decided so and grasped the pattern of "Dragon Slasher."

Natalia takes one hand off her cane when she sees such a revulsion. Then he reached out to the pouch enclosed in his waist belt and took out the "contents”.

It was a dark purple "magic stone". Natalia grabbed the wand in her right hand and the "Magic Stone" in her left hand, concentrating her consciousness.

─ Spirit of the Wind

A "chant" is spinned out of Natalia's mouth.

Having heard that, Reurus understood Natalia's intentions and started moving immediately.
